The theme of that episode trying to avoid hearing the result of a football match was a constant problem LOL
The classic one for me was when England beat Holland 4-1. I was working until 10pm and all day I had avoided hearing the result and people had co operated and not let on at all. So I was all set to go home and watch the game which I think I had recorded or it was being shown late (can't remember which) As I locked up the premises to drunks came up the road singing 4 - 1 4 - 1 <laugh>

I had a similar thing happen to me a few years back spurs were playing in Europe and I was working that night I told the Mrs to record it for me.I got home about 2am made a couple of sandwiches and cracked open a beer no one had told me the result and I switched the video player on only to find she had recorded the wrong channel and it was some crappy classical music concert :emoticon-0121-angry

When out in Spain to watch the Madrid game, I got my wife to ask my eldest to record the game on BT Sport, so I could watch it when we got back. Imagine my joy when I got home to find that she'd recorded the UEFA Youth League game instead............I'll have to buy the DVD.

Really disappointingly how ****e women's football is. Just seen a daft chip from England. The Bosnian keeper instead of a really simple catch decides to palm it over with a dive for the camera. Cue 'great save' comments from the worst commentator ever Jonathan Pearce. Just really low standard all round.

I've no idea why it's so ****, though. The standard's basically pub league, not even non-league.
I understand that there are physical differences, but that doesn't explain the technical or tactical ones.
The keepers are almost universally garbage, too. You could find kids at school with more ability.
